YOGYAKARTA Did you know that the texture and color of the fecess can describe the health of the body, especially the digestive tract? As one of these detection steps, let's recognize the following characteristics of healthy feces.

Feses (also known as lecherous) are food remains that are not digested and dumped through the anus. Before being removed from the body, the food consumed will pass through the digestive process first. The length of this process varies to each person, but generally it ranges from 2-5 days.

Frekeuence of feces disposal is also different, which is 3 times a day to 3 times a week.

As a final result of the digestive process, the fess can describe the health of a person's digestive tract.

Normal feces are generally brownish and shaped like sausages with a soft or solid texture. In addition, the feces are also easy to remove and not so runny.

Furthermore, here are the characteristics of healthy fesses, as compiled by VOI.

The above has been mentioned that healthy feces have brownish color. This color comes from pigment (color giver) called bilirubin.

Bilirubin itself is the result of reshuffle of red blood cells as a function of the liver.

Normal feces generally emits a distinctive unpleasant odor. The smell comes from the formation of gas by bacteria in the intestines.

The sulfur content in a high intestinal gas can make the smell of feces strong and unpleasant, but this smell is one of the characteristics of healthy and normal fecess.

The next characteristic of healthy fessis is soft, congested, and not too hard textures. In addition, healthy feces generally shaped like sausages according to the elongated shape of the intestine.

Fecess in the form of small pieces or grains also indicates healthy digestive tract.

Healthy feces do not cause pain when removed from the rectum. This is because the pressure produced by the feces tends to be weak so that most people only need 10-15 minutes to defecate (BAB).

If there is straining activity during bowel movements and takes a long time, there is a possibility that the digestive system is having problems, such as constipation, hemorrhoids, or other digestive disorders.
